Discourse Markers in Early Byzantine Narrative Prose

Original language description

The contribution provided an analysis of the pragmatic function, frequency and variability of discourse markers (the so-called connective particles) in the Early Byzantine Chronicle of John Malalas (6th cent. A.D.). The areas of prime concern are the following ones: a) decrease in the variability of connective particles when compared to the Classical period works, b) changes in the range of interpretations of the relationship between discourse segments linked by the old connective particles when compared to the Classical period, c) usage of discourse markers newly formed in post-Classical period and their pragmatic function in the discourse structure of the Chronicle. Finally, the problem of Malalas's language register, as far as discourse marker analysis is concerned, is illustrated.
